 PROGRAM 1

Write a C program to demonstrate the use of ‘printf()’ and ‘scanf()’

functions. Prompt the user to enter their name and age, then display
the entered information.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char name[50];
int age;
printf("Enter your name: ");
scanf("%49s", name);
printf("Enter your age: ");
scanf("%d", &age);
printf("Hello, %s! You are %d years old.\n", name, age);
return 0;
}

. Write a C program to define and use symbolic constants.

Define symbolic constants for PI and the radius of a circle,
then calculate and display the area of the circle.

#include <stdio.h>
#define PI 3.14
void main() {
float radius, area;
printf("Enter the radius : ");
scanf("%f", &radius);
area = PI * radius * radius;

6. Write a C program to demonstrate the use of switch statement.

Simulate a simple calculator to perform addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division based on user input.

scanf("%lf %lf", &num1, &num2);
switch (operator) {
case '+':
result = num1 + num2;
printf("%.2lf + %.2lf = %.2lf\n", num1, num2, result);
break;
case '-':
result = num1 - num2;
printf("%.2lf - %.2lf = %.2lf\n", num1, num2, result);

 break;
case '*':
result = num1 * num2;
printf("%.2lf * %.2lf = %.2lf\n", num1, num2, result);
break;
case '/':
if (num2 != 0) {
result = num1 / num2;
printf("%.2lf / %.2lf = %.2lf\n", num1, num2, result);
} else {
printf("Error: Division by zero is not allowed.\n");

break;
default:
printf("Error: Invalid operator.\n");

7. Write a C program to implement looping using a while loop.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int number;
int sum = 0;
printf("Enter positive numbers to sum them up (enter a negative
number to stop):\n");
while (1) {
printf("Enter a number: ");
scanf("%d", &number);
if (number < 0) {
break;
}
sum += number;
}
printf("The total sum of the entered positive numbers is: %d\n",
sum);
return 0;
}

8. Write a C program to implement looping using a do-while loop.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int number;
int sum = 0;
do {
printf("Enter a number (enter 0 to stop): ");
scanf("%d", &number);
sum += number;
} while (number != 0);
printf("The total sum of the entered numbers is: %d\n", sum -
number);
return 0;

9. Write a C program to implement looping using for loop

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int n;
printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
if (n <= 0) {
printf("Please enter a positive integer.\n");
} else {
printf("The first %d natural numbers are:\n", n);
for (int i = 1; i <= n; ++i) {
printf("%d ", i);
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
}

10.Write a C program to demonstrate the use of break and continue

statements. Print numbers from 1 to 10, but skip the number 5 using
continue and stop the loop when it reaches 8 using break.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
if (i == 5) {
continue;
}
if (i == 8) {

the factorial of a number, entered by the user and display the result.

#include <stdio.h>
unsigned long long factorial(int n);
int main() {
int number;
